Cleopatra Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 You never heard of a purple finch? Have you heard of a java sparrows? they are beautiful birds, pure white feathers that look like porcelain and pink beaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 The chinese gooseberry is native to China, the name was changed to kiwi fruit when they were imported into New Zealand in the 1950s. Correct Eagle, it was originally known as yang tao, and color is spelt colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Dizz, lend us your hat!, never got one correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 The hat is your's Algy as I've worn it far to often anyway so it tends to be standard and un-noticed. Far better that someone new wears it now and gets the appreciation and credit that it deserves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
